Network Security Views From The Bridge. Wednesday, January 28, 2009. If any day would be the right day to start a Blog on cyber security, it would be today. Today has been declared as National Data Privacy Day. The United States House of Representatives has approved a bill declaring today National Data Privacy Day. Now more than ever we are going to see more organizations involved, becoming aware and preaching on privacy. Let's face it, hackers and cyber criminals have long figured out means of getting b...

Network Security Views From The Bridge. Saturday, October 10, 2009. Ken Pappas Leaves Top Layer Security. After what seems a few short years I have decided to leave my full time position as Vice President of Marketing with Top Layer Security. During my travels and meeting many individuals that are now responsible for their company wide security, I've determined that I can possibly have a greater impact on our countries security if I left Top Layer and started my own Security firm. Because we at True Nort...

Network Security Views From The Bridge. Monday, April 27, 2009. Post RSA Security Show in San Francisco, Ca. All the vendors on the panel agreed to move in a direction of a security eco-system, one that learns and shares from one another. The session was attended by well over 100 people and that's not bad being at 9am in the morning of the last day of the show. It was a healthy discussion, one that I think everyone enjoyed. Posted by Ken Pappas, President at 12:36 PM. Ken Pappas, President. Post RSA Secu...

Network Security Views From The Bridge. Friday, February 27, 2009. The Argument Around Multiple Firewalls. Ah dueling firewalls. I’ve seen it all. Well maybe not all, or that I really want to. My good friend Jack Germain of ECT News Network just finished an article on this. Check it out here. Http:/ www.technewsworld.com/story/66150.html.

Network Security Views From The Bridge. Thursday, July 09, 2009. North Korea Attacks American and South Korea Networks. True or False? Recent International news 'claims' that North Korea WITH the help of China has electronically attacked South Korea and American websites.

Network Security Views From The Bridge. Thursday, June 18, 2009. False Sense Of Security. It's been fast moving since my trip to RSA Security event in San Fran. Much of my travels have been conducting security presentations to companies of all sizes. What amazes me is the fact that we have CIO's and CxO's out there that feel good about the security or lack thereof they have in their networks. Good luck with that these days. A cheap, low end UTM device? Can you stop that from happening? Well yes I can&#46...
